Who Are You?


The other day, I looked in the mirror after my mother brought me this beautiful blue dress, and I said "Wow, I look like an adult woman." She turned to me and said "Of course, you are 25 years old." The reason I made that comment is because I see my image, who I am, changing right before my very eyes. It's like I almost don't recognize myself some days. I don't know if you have this issue but as I am growing, I am noticing that there is a person that I am being molded into, and this change seems to be constant.

Have you ever felt like you were either older or younger than what you looked like in the mirror? Recently, I started gaining weight after years of being that person that bragged about how I can eat whatever I wanted and never gain a pound. Well, it caught up with me. While I do like the little extra cushion here or there, I am quite terrified that it will not stop! Ahh! The weight is also making me look older, which in turn makes me realize that time is moving along faster than expected. I realized that I must identify my target, my goals, and have a strategic plan on how I am going to get there.

Time is moving along, and things are changing (including my body image), but what will I look like and who will I be in 10 years? If I don't get this together TODAY, I will be someone that I probably wasn't expecting. I'm going to work-out tonight! In 10 years, I want to be a satisfied and super! Looking great as I walk in my purpose!

What about you? In 10 years, who will you be? Who do you want to be? Identify that today, and make a plan to get there. It's in you!
